Why You Are Tired Before You Even Start (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part 2 of the Berlin Professionals & Health series. You finish work. You planned to train. And then something happens, the energy is gone, the motivation has evaporated, and you tell yourself you will go tomorrow. Tomorrow becomes next week. Next week becomes next month. This is not a discipline problem. Here is what is actually happening. By the end of a full working day, research suggests the average person has processed approximately 35,000 small decisions. Most of them are trivial. But colle
Why Educated Berliners Still Feel Unfit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part 1 of a new series: Berlin Professionals & Health. Why do educated, intelligent professionals, people who know exactly what they should be doing for their health, still struggle to do it consistently? Rickard moved to Berlin in 2011 during the Rocket Internet boom and spent years inside the startup scene.

Read excerpt
Everyone knows they should eat better, move more, and sleep longer. That advice has been on every magazine cover for 30 years — and Germany is still getting sicker every year. So this episode is not about that. Five non-obvious, uncomfortable things that would actually change Germany's health trajectory if enough people did them. No government programme. No employer subsidy. Just individual decisions. Measure grip strength and VO2 max — not weight. Standing more at work burns the equivalent of t
The Doctor Said Stop. They Didn't. Here Is What Happened. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does the medical system tell people to stop moving — when movement is often the only thing that would actually fix the problem? What happens when a doctor says stop sport and the patient decides not to listen? And what is a coach actually for when everything the textbook says you should be able to do has been taken away? Three questions. Three stories. One pattern. Lisa was told she would need a wheelchair. Her lumbar spine disintegrated at 46. She was back at Escapist within weeks and did h
